l5e' iu known filmt I, MARK A. VILLIAMO, a ciix izen o1 the Unitecl Statesresiding at Castle, in 'Ell8 county of Lawrence, Stute 0f Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Catclmp-l1aking llachine; a)ncl 1 (l0 hereby cleclare alle following 130 be a :lull clear und exact clescription 01 the inntion, such as Will enable others skillefl in ihe art to whicl1 it appertains t0 make and use ths same.

The invenulon relates t0 catchup making machines und has forits object t0 provide a clevice Of thischarac'ter, which is simple in conshucfion, cmnpact und formecl from a minimum arn0untof parts Thereby all0wing the clevic 150 be cheaply solcl 1"01 household use.

11 further object is to provicle aachup mal;ing machine comprising a casing having a pivot-ecl convez ecl cover, u removable semicircular screen disposed within the upper end 01" the cove1 ancl into which toma t0es are passecl through a hopper carried hy the cover. tachably mount within the screen a crusl1- ing und. grincling element for Crushing and grincling tomatoes within the screen ancl forcing the same through tl1e screen int0 a perforatecl removable sieve disposecl above 21 removable water receiving pan.

A further object is [0 provide the front of the casing with doors, which when opened allow the removal 0f the sieve and waer receiving pan.

A further object is t0 form the crushing 1nember fr0m a bocly member preferably formed of W00d ancl having equally spaced flanges. the edges 01: which a1e providecl witl1 channeled metallic members preferably ronghened 011 their outer sides, which member-s prevent wearing 01 the spaced wooden flanges.

A further object is to provicle brackets ab tho ends of ehe rotatalole member which brackets am proVicled with pintles, adapted to be receivecl in bearings in the upper encl 0f l'he casing; also t0 provide washe1r means carriel by the pintles f01' preventing material from being forced through th pintle bearlngs, said brackets being connectd c0 gether by a bar.

With the above und other objects in view the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafcer set Also t0 rotatabl v ancl cle 15, 1923, Serial m.- 674,867

101tl1, shown in the drawing, described and claimecl, lt being understood that changas in ithe preclse embocliment 01 the invention may be made within the scope 0f what is claime l without departing 'f10111 Ehe spirit 01 the inven'tion In tl1e (lrawingz- Figure 1 is a front elevation of the de vice part being broken away t0 better sh0w show the structure.

Figure 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view through the de vice.

Figure 3 is a horizontal stectional view taken on line 33 of Figure 1.

Figure 4-. is a perspective vlew 0f one of alle pintles ancl its supporting bracket ancl 2m portio1i 0f the bar.

Figure 5 is a cletail perspective view 01 0]1Q encl 0f Ehe sieve. Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates :=:ectangular shapecl casing, which casing; is supported 011 legs 2. Hingeclly connectecl to thel forwarcl side 0f the casing 1 are cloors 3, whereby access to ehe chamber 4 of the casing may be had. Hingeclly connectecl at 5 to the upper end 0f the casing 1 is a cover 6, which cover is pretferably segmentally shapecl in vertical transverse cross secfiion, ancl is provlded with zy hopper 7 int0 which hopper tomatoes nmy be placecl cluring a catchup malzing operation. The hopper 7 is preferably proviclecl with a cover 8, which may be closed cluring n tomato crushing operation, f0r preventing porti0ns 01 the tomatoes from being forced through the hopper. Cover 6 is helrl closecl Clu1ing the tomato crushing operation by means 0f hooks 9, anal is providecl witln a handle 10 aclapted so be graspecl by the operator for raising the cover when access is desired to the upper encl 01 the chamber 9.

Disposecl Within the upper end 0f the chamber 4 and within the chamber 0f the cover 6 is 21 crushing memher 11, which membe1 is formed from wood and has its (langes 12 oppositely disposed. The eclges 0f the flanges 12 :1 :e protectecl against splintering nnd wear b v longitudinally disposed channeled members 13, preferably formed from aluminum, and which channelecl members prevent wear of the woocl of the flanges 12,
